    Imagine if this team played with heart at home. It'd be a nice change of things.

    We go on a 10-2 run to close the half....are are still down by 6 to this dumpster fire of a team. This is just so frustrating year after year....

    Some say it’s because he’s still making 5 million a year to enjoy himself.

    Are you saying Nurk IS providing rim protection or not? That’s all I’m talking about. He used to defend the rim with Dame/CJ backcourt.

    Probably. Not like Chauncey is coaching defense.

    Didn't say anything even relating to Nurk. Just comparing guards letting people blow by them by design to funnel to Gobert versus our guards just doing it...because.

    So they closed the gap a bit by the half. What do they do in the third?

    Are the Hornets a dumpster fire of a team? Hayward and Ball have been hurt most of the season. Healthy, they are playoff caliber.

    You do realize he'd still get paid that if he coached, right?

    This has been completely not enjoyable. The second half has plenty of room for improvement.

    Kind of the point. First off Stotts is no longer here but you have to admit the Blazers could score the ball when he was.

    Not worried. No one should be. It's December.

    this is not how you should play bball

    chauncey should ask himself why team plays with no urgency, effort and excitement

    This whole discussion began because I asked “What happened to Nurk’s rim protection?” I guess you shouldn’t join the conversation if you don’t know what is being discussed.

    well, most of the time the first game home after a long road trip is a ragged performance. This is ragged on steroids

    but more than that is the team just looks flat and uninspired. Jet-lagged and asleep

    You spamming this is getting about as annoying as the kind of spamming @AldoTrapani does. Just sayin'.

    Hayward has been hurt most of his career. Good point, as of late, not many teams are dumpster fires....against the Blazers.

    I don’t think you made the point you think you did. He is enjoying his life and family without working. Any job would have to be perfect if it was me?
